Former Microsoft exec to resign from Yahoo board

Maggie Wilderotter, a former Microsoft senior vice president who once was under consideration to be Yahoo’s next CEO, plans to resign from Yahoo’s board of directors at the end of the year.

A Securities and Exchange Commission filing said Wilderotter’s resignation will be effective Dec. 31, and that she is leaving “to focus more on other responsibilities and not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter related to the Company’s operations, policies or practices,” All Things Digital reports.
